Hoya fitchii 'Orange'

Hoya fitchii ‘Orange’

Hoya fitchii ‘Orange’ is a beautiful collector Hoya that combines highly decorative foliage with wonderfully colorful flowers. Its green leaves are marked with a prominent network of darker veins, giving the plant plenty of interest even when it isn’t blooming.

The real show comes when an established plant flowers. ‘Orange’ produces clusters of small, star-shaped blooms in warm shades of orange to coral, creating a striking contrast against the patterned green foliage.

With its manageable growth habit and colorful blooms, this is a particularly rewarding species for collectors looking for something beyond the more familiar Hoya varieties. Allow it to trail naturally or train the vines around a small trellis.

Care Highlights

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal and helps encourage flowering.

• Water: Allow the potting mix to partially dry between thorough waterings.

• Soil: Use a loose, airy and fast-draining Hoya or epiphytic mix.

• Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity with good airflow.

• Growth: Vining and branching; suitable for trailing or training onto a support.

• Foliage: Attractive dark veining makes this a standout foliage plant even between bloom cycles.

• Blooming: Mature plants can produce clusters of distinctive orange to coral flowers.

• Peduncles: Leave old peduncles intact, as they can flower repeatedly.

• Pet safety: Hoyas are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
